About The Role
The Lower Thames Crossing is one of the UK’s biggest infrastructure projects. On the Roads North section, we’re delivering everything from micro-tunnelling to major bridges and large-scale road realignments — all of which depend on well-planned, well-managed temporary works.
We’re looking for a Senior Temporary Works Coordinator who knows how to bring structure, clarity, and leadership to complex environments.
Responsibilities
You’ll be right at the centre of how the job gets built — working with engineers, designers, and site teams to make sure temporary works are safe, practical, and properly thought through.
* Lead and support a team of Temporary Works Coordinators
* Make sure procedures are clear, followed, and actually work on site
* Act as the go-to person for technical advice on temporary works
* Work closely with designers and delivery teams to ensure buildability
* Plan and track temporary works designs, briefs, and approvals
* Review more complex (Category 3) designs with confidence
* Keep an eye on performance, standards, and opportunities to improve
* Carry out audits and help raise the bar across the project
* Support training, mentoring, and competency development
Qualifications
You’ll need to be technically solid, but just as importantly, able to work with people — influencing decisions, simplifying complexity, and keeping things moving.
* A degree in Civil or Structural Engineering
* Around 5–10 years’ experience in temporary works
* Experience stepping into a senior or lead coordination role
* A strong understanding of BS5975, CDM, and industry best practice
* The confidence to challenge where needed and back it up technically
* SMSTS and a valid CSCS card
It would help if you also have
* CITB Temporary Works Coordinator qualification
* Experience on major infrastructure (highways, tunnelling, etc.)
* Experience with audits, assurance, or managing competency
Benefits
* Smart working, giving you more flexibility such as staggered start and finish times, with up to 40% remote working, where roles allow.
* 25 days paid annual leave (pro rata)
* Family friendly policies which include 28 weeks full pay for maternity/adoption leave and four weeks full pay for paternity/partners leave.
* Pension, share incentive plan, volunteering leave, recognition schemes and much more…
